hello out there

how are you today

I’ve been thinking of you a lot these days

have you been well… are you alright…

has time been good to you…

is your world sunny and bright

a lot of questions, I know

it is just that when my thoughts drift in your direction 

I remember the fun we had

&  how you made me laugh

8fe07e2323fc60c80c95c00fa338c7eb

life is good, I’m very happy

every day I’m presented with a brand new day

and I hope in my heart that you are happy too

the world is such an amazing place…

that our hearts connected is such a gift

e178c6c340f7b07d6f2ec6fe1566860f

love is such a powerful and amazing gift

it transcends all and everything

we may never understand it

but as long as we believe and trust in God

we will always be connected

for we are…. ONE

Tuning into tomorrow

d76d3ccfda1e00bf599e4fd88ad7e809Another time and place – Cloud People of Peru.  These figures balance on the ledge of cliff, their gaze fixed where the first rays of the rising sun will appear.  They wait for a new day to dawn.  The Chachapoyas were an ancient Andean people known as the Warriors of the Clouds.  They inhabited the mist swathed rain-forests of what is now known as Northern Peru.   These figures stand as remnants of a civilization that was wiped out some 5  hundred years ago. They look out over the vast Utcubamba Valley  (sourced disclose.tv)

civilizations, come and go

nature and its natural wonders

constantly evolve

reminders of another time

echo unspoken wisdom

and  for true seekers

the stories unfold & knowledge is shared

digested and recreated

for the pilgrims of tomorrow

These Celtic figures on Boa Island,  have stood the test of time… (irishmegaliths.org.uk) these stone aged megaliths show a tender embrace.  Love is what transcends all the realities of today, and  fine tunes our lives for tomorrow and ever after.

The Universe is what it is,

and we. are part of it,

no more… no less.

holiday greetings

d4dc92efdc177b463f10c489cce47a9a

” We live in a vast and awesome universe

in which, daily, suns are made and worlds destroyed,

where humanity clings to an obscure clod or rock. “

Carl Sagan

7b6c26fb578ec4083a80caba2156f154

The Universe is vast and beautiful

unknown and mysterious

yet all of this wonder is part of who and what we are

we, you and I are ONE within this amazing sphere of activity/experience

not one soul or living being is unconnected from the cosmos..

may today, be a day of new awareness

where your heart, body and mind find solace

in the joy of life and living in this great world of ours..

make this the best day ever, 

let it stand out from all the rest

May the blessings of love, peace and joy 

be yours forever

now and always

silver

tumblr_lv6mkpFYhH1qhgyl1o1_500

There is something very mystical about silver, you can polish it to a  brilliant shine, yet as it lives with you, it takes on a patina of its own.  lately I’ve been cleaning a lot of jewelry for the church’s Funky Monkey Boutique. a tired old piece of jewelry can come alive with a cleaning and some TLC. (Tender Loving Care).  In fact what appeared to be old metal when cleaned was seen to be a lovely piece of silver that had tarnished so much over the years,  it had taken on a totally different look.

The moon itself is  a wonder of beauty that is always giving us a new face to see and rediscover,  Nature is forever in the state of change, and so are we. Each change brings a new dimension to our lives.  We can waste time and energy trying to redo or stop the change, but the reality is we can’t go back.  When we appreciate our lives for what it is at the very moment we are living it,   We are well on our way to finding a peaceful way of existence.

Silver is associated with the moon, it  symbolizes the night, the ‘Yin” side of life.  It is a beautiful precious metal,to maintain its glow it needs to be worn, and tended to.  So do our spirits, our minds, our bodies……… like the moon, we shine bright, we wax, we wane.  Attending church/temple/shrine, is one way of polishing and working on our “shine”.   Finding ways to stay in “tune” “touch” with our spiritual needs is important…. Today being Thanksgiving in PL, we gave thanks for the blessings of the month as well as for the past year.

74ee8145432fadf9e6c90ab712dc8b41May the silver moonbeams of the night

 light your way to where it is bright,

so that your entry into the new year will be filled with light.

A celebration that is sure to delight…

I wish with all my heart and might…

That your dreams come true for you this night.

Taming of the shrew

4211fa7ca06396de9ee8c271b38d424b

Shrew? me?……. yes you!

oh my I had not thought of myself as a shrew…

hmmm what to do…

oh, the dictionary says I’m a cute mammal

with a long pointed snout

and tiny eyes…. kinda cute….

oooooh, you don’t mean that shrew!

9b3531a0d197ad71a7b25f029cddd9a5.jpg shrew

oh oh, a shrew is also a bad-tempered, aggressively assertive woman

really, this is what you think of me

oh my goodness….. your reality is your perspective isn’t it???

so somewhere in my personality I must demonstrate such traits

a235f785e9ae27da7d89f32e0b31907dwhat to do, what to do

if I care for you , which I do

I must assume some responsibility 

for how I am perceived…

yes… I must, I must…

df4d41766b3b726ba4e4ba7236e3a0bb

small in this world I may be

but the power of love

is huge, it will help me to 

make the changes in my life that I need to

so  the cute shrew I’ll be

by setting the negative in me free.

Colosso dell’Appennino

f31ecc092e174ed69986bd9787fdc6a1

There are times in life when I can only sit, and look in wonder at what is before me.  This is a photograph found on pictify.com of a sculpture.  Colosso dell’Appennino in the Parco Mediceo di Pratolin near Florance Italy.  Sculptor Giamologna (1580)  credit given for photo is Dave Ellis.

Please allow me to share a poem with you by Margaret Ingall.

**Stillness is a doorway,

A space within the mind,

A place we may abide in

And leave the world behind

A realm of tender silence

Of nurturing and calm

Where hopefulness and healing

Enfold us in their balm

It waits for you to find it

Just let life’s hustle cease

And enter through that doorway

To wisdom and to peace.**

Day by day, find time to embrace the beauty that is in the world for us to see and enjoy.  We are on a journey of discovery, how we view our world will greatly impact on our perception of the life we are living.

PL Principle # 3 –  I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

sew…sow…so

sewing machine

Meet  Tabitha, a sewing machine (1886-1890) a work of art. The exquisite details, I wonder what it was like to work with. It looks like it must have been very heavy.

sewing machinem victorian weir pedestal treadle

 

This model is a Victorian Weir Pedestal Treadle machine, operated with your feet, it would have allowed for movement of the material with two hands.  Not that sewing isn’t a labour of love now, of course it is, but the modern-day  machines make sewing a little less tedious than it might have been in days gone by.

So much has changed, lifestyle, clothing,technology…. change is the only constant in life.… AND…. the constant blessings of living in a world where the “Universe/GOD” is “supreme”.

Let us pray that we can come together

openly with the same goal in mind

Peace on earth & goodwill to all

Sow the seed of fellowship in all you do

Be genuine in your actions, let love surround you..

like the seamstress or tailor 

that sews with positive intentions

you can be a conduit that brings calm and serenity

to those around you.

moving forward

path, by ojaipatrick on flickr

I hold my breath, close my eyes and count to ten

Will this anxiety ever end..

Somewhere out there, I know someone cares

Why, why is it when I look, no one is there

I read the other day that God is everywhere

In my prayers, I cry for help,  

over and over I do my best to express my self

I think I am doing my best, and yet

there is the tiny tug inside my chest 

that maybe, just maybe, I’m out of touch with my quest

that along the way I turned right when I should have gone  left

Pray with faith, is what  I’m hearing

listen with your heart, not your head

only then will you see the road ahead….

Yes of course, in you I’ll trust

only then will my life change, and you will lead me

to where I am meant to be, and I will be anxiety free.

b9ebf60e23be04ad6fac95d8aa7c1a7c

In still waters I will be

when the Universe dwells in me

Hjelle, Norway

norway

To dream, to wake, to live and follow the  trail

always aware, always prepared to stop and gaze

when my eyes would behold the object of my  quest.

life can be a dream, it really can,

one need only to believe, is Hjelle Norway so very far away?

some one else captured this moment in time

now here I am, enjoying the calm and serene

of this artists gift, of this captivating scene.

because a stranger shared

my day is blessed with time spent in 

Hjelle Norway.

all because I followed the trail

and let God lead the way.

Norway. Hjelle

snowflakes fall

8f445e04584ca2d58f1f27836c4e93f9

look up at the silent moon, nowhere does it shine with more light

then when it is shining down on you

the crystal clear water runs merrily along, unaware of your plight

cool liquid ripples, swirl and babble totally caught up in their journey

while you play and sing the  heart broken blues

the bass guitar keeps time while the saxophone plays a mournful sound

and all you know is that your heart is broken in two

055e80e502b2e864de5b6868fb707fe5

don’t despair, let the moonlight bathe you in its soothing light

stop, listen to the natural melodies of the creek as it makes its way

to its destination around and down the bend

let your emotions be drawn to the falling snowflakes as they spirit them away

soon you will know only the night

and the joy of anticipation for the delights

waiting just around the corner,

bbb5b75f7814043f50cfcd8e6ec34099

snowflakes are little gems from heaven,  they are gentle reminders of the wonders and  many expressions of God.

snowflakes fall so we can actually see and enjoy, the purity of change

even if it is just for a moment, they will gather and present you with a brand new world.

you, me, and the world we are in, are ONE…..

enjoy the snowflakes when they fall……

Love is another word for God,  snowflakes with their unique designs

show us once and for all that we will all appear and then disappear

it is just a matter of time…

Snow is fun

especially when snowflakes fall…..   xxxxooo
